BusyBox combines tiny versions of many common Unix utilities into a
single small executable. This is BusyBox built for AmigaOS: one 400K
program that is awk, sed, grep, find, sort, md5sum, tar, gzip, diff,
ls, cat, wc and 57 others, depending on the name it is called by.

    busybox sed s/two/TWO/ RAM:a.txt
    busybox find Work: -name "*.c"
    busybox md5sum Work:archive.lha

Soft links in the c/ drawer make each applet a command of its own;
a script to create them is included. None replaces an AmigaDOS
command: the nine names that exist in SYS:C are left unlinked and
reached as "busybox grep ..." instead.

It is Unix commands, not a Unix shell. AmigaOS has no fork(), so
there is no sh, ps or top, and xargs cannot run what it reads. Paths
are AmigaOS paths (RAM:, Work:src/x); there is no "." and no stderr,
so error messages appear on the console with everything else.

Needs a 68020 or better and AmigaOS 3.0+, or AROS 68k. No
ixemul.library, no assigns, no other libraries. Tested on AmigaOS
3.1, 3.2.3, 3.9 and ApolloOS R9.5.

The archive includes the port's complete source under src/: the
patch against BusyBox git, the AmigaOS glue, the configuration and
the build script. BusyBox is GPLv2.
